Construction Progresses on Barclays Arena
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
by Linda Collins
Add this to the inevitability of death and taxes — a piece in the Eagle every couple weeks or so regurgitating the Atlantic Yards pablum spouted by a Forest City Ratner exec.
“We are making extraordinary progress on the Barclays Center,” said MaryAnne Gilmartin, executive vice president of commercial development at Forest City Ratner. “The steel is rising and the decking is visible. We will be watching [Nets] basketball games in the 2012-13 season.”
Gilmartin was speaking at the Brooklyn Real Estate Roundtable quarterly luncheon at the Brooklyn Historical Society on Feb. 8.
Gilmartin also told attendees that people coming out of the new subway exit on the Barclays Arena plaza will immediately see the sports center’s scoreboard inside, and people will also be able to see the team at play in the arena’s practice facility from the plaza.
